The wine walk itself partnered local downtown businesses with different wineries like Viking Sewing & Vacuum with Cedar River Cellars, L.A. Frames with Klickitat Canyon Winery, Esme & Elodie with T2 Cellar, Ascendance Pole & Aerial Arts with Three of Cup, Urban Sprouts with EFESTE, Wyldwood Creative with Aluel Cellars, Sparkle Gifts & Whatnots with Naches Heights Vineyard, Macadons with Republic of Cider, Antiques 4U with Puget Sound Cider, Four Sisters Holistic Remedies with Contrivance Wine & Mead Co., Devil on Third with Drum Roll Wine and Premier Meat Pies with Michael Florentino.
